  • Solid game; 2 bugs- (-edit- figured out work around)

    +awesome graphics
    +no micro transactions
    +crafting system
    +world events to get higher level material if you can’t find portal

    Suggestions-
    1. Can you delete an island (or increase the amount)?
    2. Is there a way to enchant/augment equipment?
    3. Having some servers to host would be nice for my out of town friends (I’d pay $5/monthly for this premium service)

    -edit- Figured out a work around by
    1. Not deleting my “main” universe but,
    2. creating a 2nd universe, grinding up to what I needed
    3. Exiting back to title, entering in main/1st universe and turning in quests
    (***the great news is you are able to see different islands; found an island seller)

    1. Quest item gets thrown away accidentally- please allow to be respawned at original location

    2. Captain’s gold hook

    I had done the quest out of order b/c exploring... and picked up hook first. When I go back and do quest, both treasure map and hook are gone from inventory.... chest that contained hook is not spawning hook again, even though it is needed and you do not have.

  • Awesome! But...

    There are so many things I love about this game! From the enemies to the weapons! But there are two main issues that get
    Annoying...the first is that at random, I just roll for no reason, I don’t even move when it happens. The other being that the enemies don’t change where they spawn. (Here’s what happened) I chose being a mage for the game, and wanted to build a tower for me to live in, however, the place I wanted to build was showered with monsters. it was beautiful too. I took 45 minutes to get rid of them, then went back a world for something, came back, and twice the monsters came back...this got really annoying after time and I still have yet to build the tower...the took place by the autumn spring by the way.

  • Disappointed Gamer

    I really enjoy this game but for the second time. When I attempt to update this game it says that it can’t update the app at this time. This happened with the last update and I couldn’t update it. So I deleted it and tried to redownload it expecting that it would have saved my save data. I was wrong, lost everything. And now here I am again an update has come out and it won’t let me update the game. Yet I can update all the other hundreds of games and apps I have on my phone (iPhone X)

    Edit: the developer response suggests that I attempt to use a different WiFi and or restart my phone (the first two things that any competent person would do when something goes wrong, which I did) as I mentioned I have countless games and apps that are updated on my phone daily. Yet this game doesn’t update twice. Perhaps this issue Isn’t with the actual coding but some sort of App Store glitch. Regardless as the maker of the app I’d make it my priority to find out why it’s happening and get the responsible party to fix the problem. I’ll give it a three star instead of one seeing as it may not directly be the developers fault but it is still an issue that is unique to this game and in my opinion the responsibility of the dev.

    Hi, this issue exists outside the game so is beyond our control. Have you tried restarting your router or downloading over different WiFi? Both these suggestions have fixed the issue for a good number of players. Save data is saved locally so deleting the App will result in you losing your saves.
  • Can’t download. Please refund my money

    I tried it 7times already and still the same. What a waste of time.:( Developers not even answering about customer complain. And I already deleted some games that I love just to make a space of 7GB because thats what it said here. Should have 5GB or more free space. Still useless and cant download. Hope they fix it, if not what a waste of money. Can’t even complain to Apple. Inc.

    Edit: I tried to install it 15times and luck made it one through, I suggest for the guys who cant install it try the pause play method that the apple suggested. Thats what I did..:)

  • It's good but..

    It's a very good game, it's like Minecraft meets Diablo. The only problem is there is no online multiplayer, unless you have someone else who purchased the game it's boring to play alone all the time. So if you guys could make online multiplayer globally it'd be great. Also the tutorial isn't clear enough, if you go through the portal too early, you don't know what you're doing. There should be something showing you what you must do rather than just letting you do whatever and not know what you're doing. I understand it says to stay longer before going out but it's not very helpful as anyone, myself included, would just walk through the beginning portal without thinking anything about the warning.

  • Case

    Bad news- leveled to thirty, beat the hollow king four times- no drops- nothing... no gems, minerals; certainly not the astral heart which kind of closes the door on the games finish. Beat him in the middle of the platform at least once so they are not going over the edge as some, on-line, have suggested...huh?

    Freezing in between portals is still a problem but can be circumvented through closing out and reloading. Updated on latest iOS etc. When I am at the portal screen and your download status bar is filling it will stop at about 1/4, and no longer progress. The portal cut-scene will continue to play so it appears that you are visually progressing but the load status bar will freeze. The only way to exit is close and reopen- thankfully your load times are short.

    Attempted to go back through a new world to give the game another chance to work but once you level to thirty, except for recipe drops any progress potential dies. Did not have the replay-ability to warrant going back through to reactivate the portals just to get the end boss drops. Entertaining to a point but ultimately disappointing due to glitches.

    Hi, that's great news and thank you :) The boss drops will be fixed in our next update. Watch this space.
  • Was 5 stars before the update

    I bought and downloaded the game as soon as I came out. I found a really enjoyed it and ended up playing a bit too much. So I took a couple weeks off and came back after the update. I gave it a shot but now wish I never hit the update button.

    The rework of the weapon system is a big point of frustration especially if you played before and have my luck as my Iron Mitt was no longer in my inventory. The Pirate Sabre I was using now required two more levels to be able to use.

    The next change to me is the worst. As you may be able to tell I play as a Warrior. Most games in the genre give Warriors at least one ranged skill, attack, or weapon. Something like a taunt that they can use at a distance. Portal Knights had it before the update, throwing axes.

    A lot of times enemies are in packs and you may want to draw one away at a time. You could utilize the throwing axe to accomplish that, though not now. I haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement though I tried what is available. Bombs all blow holes in the ground. Warriors are not allowed to use a slingshot or weapons of the sort. It is disappointing.

  • Awesome Game

    This is my favorite game on my iPhone I really enjoy the building and customizing aspect while also having some RPG elements ( Minecraft meets Skyrim sort of ) graphics are great , and the overall experience is amazing and definitely well worth $5 .

    Also much more entertaining than Minecraft and it’s clones in my opinion. I like how even though it uses block pieces to build once placed they often take on more natural appearances trees and plants look real and not blocky for an example .

    I love that Portal Knights has co-op that is offline only and keeps weirdo’s away . Playing co- op with my wife is awesome when not having to worry about other people interfering and acting stupid, or having offensive creations pop up.

    Lastly I would like to point out 505’s quick response to aid in any issues you may have if you do experience any problems with the game please don’t give this amazing title a negative score just ask for help. Thanks guys and keep up the great work !! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

  • Great game, but...

    Hello! This is a fantastic game and you should consider buying it, it is worth every penny. The combat system is well done, and the variety of buildings you can make is enormous. There are 48 worlds for you to explore, as well as event world that occur randomly. Now, I have a small problem with the new update. My home happens to be in Fort Finch, and I don’t want to move it, as that would be very difficult. But I also want to experience all the new features, so could you please add an update so if you have Fort Finch as your home island you can make the new shops somewhere else? That would be great. Overall though, this game is great. One last thing: Please make it so you can’t roll unless you’re in combat. This has screwed me up many times over, so please fix that! Thanks!
    EDIT:
    To solve the Fort Finch problem, I created a new universe so I can bring the stuff from there to my home universe.

  • Amazing! Only one major issue

    This game is amazing and I have been having a blast. The combination of aspects and the fun style is something very fresh and great. I would easily give it 5 stars for what the game has and what it can gain. I love it.

    My only fling is that I can’t connect with local multiplayer. None of us can see the games we create when trying to join. We are all on the same Wi-fi with strong connections and all in the same room with the router. On the random chance that we can connect, then the connection and jumpiness is too much to play.

    The single player and game over all is fantastic. The multiplayer aspects could use some work though. 5 Stars as soon as the issues are fixed for sure. Recommended game.
